Empower Your CMS Users: Building Custom Admin Interface Elements in Concrete5
Location: Franz Hall, Room 025
Learn how to enable non-technical users to manage the contents of their website more easily by building custom interface elements in the Concrete5 CMS. Using this technique will help you cut down on support costs (due to less wrangling with HTML, Javascript WYSIWYG editors, image sizing, etc.) and will empower your clients by making them feel more in control of their site (resulting in more repeat business for you). Several use cases for this technique will be demonstrated, and an implementation will be coded from scratch so that participants can learn how to do it themselves. Concrete5 is an open source, php-based content management system that is both easy for end-users to work with due to its unique and intuitive admin interface, and easy for programmers to customize due to an MVC architecture and robust plugin API. The presenter (Jordan Lev) is a freelance web developer who often uses Concrete5 to build client sites, but is not otherwise affiliated with the core C5 team.
